The Hudson River Environmental Society and the Hudson River Foundation teamed up to provide participants with a series of presentations on Hudson River fish and the stressors affecting their status in the Hudson River Ecosystem.
The Hudson River fish community has long been an important social, economic and ecological sector of life in the Hudson Valley. Climate change, invasive species, off-shore commercial fishing, surge barriers, and dams are among the real challenges for the propagation and survival of Hudson River fish species today.

During the first four sessions, experts in each area will present the science regarding specific issues and offer their assessments as to what this may mean for the future of the Hudson River fish community. The fifth session will provide an opportunity for open discussion with a panel of scientists representing each topic covered in the individual sessions. We hope that you can participate in all sessions, but if you are unable to attend a session, each will be recorded and posted on the websites of the Hudson River Environmental Society and the Hudson River Foundation.
Although attendance to the webinars is free, you must register for each of the sessions in which you wish to participate.
